you received on your confirmation email if possible.

Q: I am a Scoutmaster/Cubmaster, and some members of my unit
have already registered individually. How do I know if someone has
already registered from my unit?A: Unit Leaders are encouraged to consolidate WashJam registrations as a single
unit, however many individual Scouts have already registered. Check with the Council
office to see how many people from your unit
have registered so far. Even if you don't have payments from every
member of your unit, we encourage you to
pre-register your unit, with an estimated number of youth and
adults, to save money on registration fees.

Q: Do you want Adult Leaders to attend this event with their
Scouts and if so, how much do the adults pay?A: Yes, two deep leadership is required when Scouts attend
without their parents, so adult leaders are expected to camp with
their units, as they would on normal campouts or Camporees. There
should be an adequate adult leadership ratio for the number of youth
attendees. Adult leaders pay the same as the youth for the weekend
pass, unless you are a parent of a Cub Scout. Cub Scouts
should not camp overnight without their parents.

Q: I'm the Cubmaster and we will have a big group of Cub Scouts coming. Is
it better to register by family, or as a pack? Trying to decide if the pack should
collect the money or let the families do it themselves?
A: Cub Scouts can sign up as individuals with their parents (Cub Family
Weekend Pass), or the leader can sign families up with your Pack Registration.
Pricing information is here. With the Cub Family Pass, parents
attend at a reduced fee, saving $63 per family!

Regarding group registrations, you can either have the Pack organize the
registrations, so they are all grouped under one name, or let families register
individually. Some families will want to sign up early and get the early bird prices,
while others may sign up later and pay the higher fees. The longer they wait, the more
they pay. Only families who register before February 1, 2020 will get an Early
Bird patch.

Q: I am a parent of a Cub Scout, but I am also a Cub Scout
Leader. Do I have to register and pay separately, or am I included
in my 'Family Pass'?A: Cub Scout parents who are also Adult Pack/Den Leaders are
encouraged to register as a participant. Those adults not registered
as Adult Leaders at WashJam will not receive a participant patch.
Cub Scout families who purchase a Cub Scout Family Weekend pass will
receive only one patch per family.

Q: Is it an overnight event for Cub Scouts or is it a day camp
for them? A: Both. Cub Scouts and their parents & siblings are encouraged
to spend the weekend camping with their parents in the Cub Scout Family Subcamp, but
everyone is free to go home at night, if they wish. There are no
'day passes'. Cub Scouts and
siblings of all ages are allowed to camp overnight at WashJam, with their parents.

Q: Are Cub Scout parents and siblings OK for overnight?A: Yes. 2 Parents are included in the Cub Scout Family Weekend
Pass, and Siblings 6 years old & up and youth guests pay the regular
youth rate. They may spend the entire weekend camping as a family in
the Cub Scout Family Subcamp. Cub Scouts should not camp
overnight without their parents.

Q: Can Webelos and Cub Scouts participate in the Boy Scout events?
A: Cub Scouts may participate in Scouts BSA activities as appropriate to their age and
program level. Certain activities are restricted to older Scouts, such as rifle
shooting, merit badges, rocketry, the Leadership Challenge area and other activities as
directed by the
Guide
to Safe Scouting.

Q: Are BSA Medical Forms required for participation at WashJam?A: The BSA Medical Form Parts AB are required, however the collection and management of medical forms is the
responsibility of the individual Scout Units attending WashJam.
WashJam medical staff will not be collecting or reviewing medical
forms during the event.

Q: What is the appropriate age limit for siblings to
participate and can siblings be female?A: 'Participant' siblings should be of Scouting age (6 - 21),
and female siblings are OK.

Q: Do children who will be camping with their family but not
otherwise participating in activities have to pay the sibling fee?A: Yes. If they are aged 6 - 21, and on the WashJam site, it is
assumed they will 'tag along' with the Cub or Scout and their
parents, and will participate in the activities. The siblings must
pay the youth event fee, but the parents are included in the Cub
Scout's Family Weekend Pass. Each paid participant (except Cub parents registered
under a Family Pass) will receive a WashJam participant patch.

Q: Are other girl's scouting organizations, Campfire and American Heritage Girls
Invited to WashJam?A: Yes, all other girl's scouting organization members are encouraged to participate
in WashJam.

Q: Is there a minimum and max number of Scouts that can sign-up for a unit?A: There is no minimum or maximum number of scouts you can sign up at once.
Individual Scouts can register separately or they can register with their unit. There
are no limitations for Scout Unit sizes. If your group is over 100 people, please
contact us to make
camping arrangements.

Q: What are the WashJam patches going to look like? A: The WashJam 2021 patches have not been designed yet. There will be
different variations for Early Bird registrants, Participants, Event Staff, and more.
Everyone who registers and pays their fees by February 1, 2020 will
receive an Early Bird patch.

For a nominal $30 fee*, you can receive staff recognition
items (staff t-shirt and
patch**), all meals, and a 25%
discount off the regular prices of WashJam branded gear.

Q: Why do I need to pay to be a staffer at WashJam?" A: The answer is that we must collect a small fee, to help offset the cost of the
benefits the event will provide for paid staffers. The value of the benefits outweighs
the actual fee price, so we feel this is a fair deal, which will help make your staffing
experience at WashJam more enjoyable. If you don't want to pay the $30 staff fee, please
see the options in the
WashJam 2021 Staff Fee Policy(rev. 5/27/20).

Q: Our Troop or Pack would like to run an
activity station in one of the program areas. How do we do that?A: WashJam is a combination of activities, food and fun
things to do that is provided primarily by you, the volunteer. Please email us, and
let us know what you have in mind.Find a list of activity station opportunities here.
Units who host an activity station will pay the $30 Staff registration fee** for all
youth and adults who will be participating in the activity station. Scouts, unit
leaders or parents who are not participating in the activity booth will need to
register as a 'regular' participant.

Q: Our Troop or Pack would like to run a Fundraising booth in the
Vendor Midway. Is that OK?A: If your Troop, Pack or Crew would like to put on fundraising booth to raise money
for your Unit, please email us, and let us know what you have in mind.

Your fundraising idea must be approved by the WashJam Committee, and
there may be restrictions involved with your idea.
